No, I want them to surrender (when I ask) if I really have them all on the ropes. But using a trick like hollow shell starbases should not work. Perhaps the surrender to a MEE should be based on the combined might of all versus the MEE. Say they will surrender only if their combined might is one third the MEE score, rather than when their individual score falls below the threshold.
